Couples Therapy

Reconnect, Heal, and Strengthen Your Relationship

Struggling with marital issues? Devastated and untethered in the wake of an affair? Unsure how to create emotional intimacy again after focusing on your children and careers for many years? Not feeling heard or understood in the relationship? Couples counseling is the most effective form of treatment. Science says our brains can reconnect to passionate love with our partner in six months to two years. Isn’t it worth the investment to heal your marriage? Join me, and together, we’ll find the tools to help you listen more deeply, communicate your feelings, perspectives, and desires more effectively, and navigate your differences.

My goal with couples is to help you develop a secure bond where each partner can count on the other to be accessible, attuned, and responsive.

Isn’t it time you invested in your relationship?

My dedication and commitment to providing quality treatment as a marriage therapist is exemplified by earning certification as an Imago Relationship Therapist as well as pursuing advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Dr. John Gottman’s Couples Therapy, and Dr. Ellyn Bader’s Developmental Couples Therapy amongst others. To support my couples dealing with challenges around sexual intimacy, I’ve also attained certification in sex therapy to have an integrative approach. All of these factors fall under the umbrella of my understanding, coming together to create a positive shared experience as we explore your relationship together. I love my work and feel privileged to counsel the couples I work with.
